Watson has the profile of playing well in big games. It sounds tebowish, but you've got the eye test there and for me, he's not in the Tebow category throwing the football. He needs cleaned up a little, but I don't really know that it would be that difficult.

We are pretty much at a spot where we either trade up for a QB.....or end up taking shots on 2nd round picks at QB. We aren't going to be bad enough that we draft high enough to get one. It's either going to be trade up for one this year or trade up for one next year.

If they think Kizer is their guy....I don't give a shit if they move up to #12 to get him. Our team has enough depth right now....that we don't need 12 picks. Move some of them and go get your guy.

This is a very dangerous game to play. I'm fine with giving up multiple picks but not giving up the farm.

You need high draft picks every year regardless. Look at how the Seahawks have declined without a 1st round pick for a few years? The league is made for cheap draftable talent.

Kizer has been a top 10 pick in the recent mocks I've seen. I don't think we could realistically go that high.
Mahommes seems like a guy who we could move up to obtain without cutting both of our arms off as compensation.

Posted it in another thread but this belongs here my thoughts on Watson.

I gotta be honest guys I'm a born Alabama fan and what I've seen from Watson last two years was remarkable. I saw two years ago an overmatched Clemson team play toe to toe with one of the best Bama teams of alll time. Watson just kept bringing his team back time and time again. I saw this year a QB play one of the worst halfs of football I've ever seen. I watched him come back with such amazing poise and leadership that I msgd my friends and said Bama is gonna lose because of him.

Now to the detractors yes he overthrew and under threw receivers, but the kid was on the sidelines rallying his team.

Those that have known me over the years know I was screaming for us to take russel Wilson based on what I saw against Bama when he played for NC State. All I heard was he's too short he misses passes etc now look at him.

Gentleman and ladies the combine and tape can show you stats and highlights but the one thing it can't judge is leadership ability and Watson has this. I have no doubt if we got him we would solve our needs. Sorry for long post but felt like I needed to say something bout this subject.
